Day 54, AYAT- it was the day after the reversal. I personally don’t remember how I was feeling, but I do remember working with a nurse that was doing something above me and her hand dropped right on my incision. It was a complete accident and we both gasped. It didn’t hurt right away, but it began to hurt after a little while. I don’t know if it was that or something else that caused the trauma, but I began to guard my stomach and the fever started coming back. I didn’t know what was going on at the time. I just knew that it was extremely tender. I would let people examine me, but I would keep my hand in that area. The doctors noticed it sooner than I did. It didn’t take long for them to figure out what was going on.

Today: Has been an amazing day again at the Noah conference and I have learned so much. I also got to hug a professor I hadn’t seen in years and reconnect. I was very proud to report some of the progress I have made and to hear a little bit about what’s going on with him. This morning, my alarm did not go off and I woke up 2 1/2 hours later than I should’ve which meant that the time I woke up was when I should’ve been at the conference. I quickly got up and got to the conference. If I had been there any earlier I would not have been in the position to be able to reconnect with my professor. God had other plans and his plans were perfect. Everything happens for a reason.
